Abstract

An extended series of novel functionalized dipyridyl derivatives were synthesized and intercalated between preformed polymeric cyanonickelate sheets to form a family of porous pillared Hofmann compounds which were evaluated as CO2 sorbents. The conversion is quantitative and amenable to a wide range of functional groups. Interestingly, a number of sorbents showed structurally flexible behavior during the adsorption and desorption of ...
